The Duke of Sussex disclosed who first called him 'spare' following his birth. A recently revisited excerpt from his memoir reveals that it was his father, King Charles, who initially used the term according to reports in the Mirror.The Guardian underscored Harry's enduring bitterness towards his nickname and how it fuelled the "frustration" in his memoir.

Her then husband Charles is believed to have said to her: "Wonderful! Now you've given me an heir and a spare - my work is done."Meanwhile, it is suggested that Prince Harry's first visit upon returning to England in May will be to his father who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.Harry is reportedly eager to repair family ties and, according to a Royal insider, is set to make visiting his sick father the top priority upon landing in the UK.
